Johnston & Gill: Very British Types

Very pleased to announce a typographic talk and exhibition at Leicester Print Workshop with Mark Ovenden, author of Johnston & Gill: Very British Types.

Commemorating the centenary of Johnston’s lettering for London Transport, and the 90th anniversary of Gill Sans, the talk will be accompanied by an exhibition of the Gill Sans wooden printing types in the collection of Leicester Print Workshop, and a screening of the short film on the making of Johnston 100 for TfL. Proudly supported by Monotype.

Postscript; the event is now sold out (Feb 10th) and oversubscribed; PLEASE if you are holding a ticket and won’t be able to join us on the night, can you cancel the booking so someone else can use it. Ta.
